Shackleless

It's my passion to write poetry. After a long time, I have made up my

mind to share and spread my piece of art with other readers since it

touches my heart to be able to connect with people across the world

through the complex human emotions that bind us together.

Also, the subject of my work deals with topics that may be considered

taboo, such as the matter of sex and the way society tries to suppress

the real feelings of an individual personality.

Moreover, the concerns highlighted through the poems also include

discrimination and exploitation on the basis of gender such as

blackmailing gullible and naïve women through digital dating apps, by

exposing their intimate moments on the internet.

More abhorrent, unvoiced but still rampant themes such as child sexual

abuse and the vicious repercussions that they leave on the victim have

also been stated in a downright, distinct manner, so that the reader

may become aware of the circumstances by which the victim becomes

reluctant to name the exact nature of wrongs that have been

committed against her/him, perhaps because the culprit might be

someone known and close.

Besides, the pain, shame and the misery that he/she undergoes, and

might have to live with all his/her life, without having someone to

confide to has been depicted with the necessary despair and anguish.

Instead of name shaming and questioning the victim itself, I have tried

to plead the audience to be more empathetic and supportive in order

to minimize their plight.

Also, as a recovering addict, I have tried to portray the road to sobriety

as clearly as possible, thereby clearing common misconceptions that

still lie deep seeded within the minds of the common man. Most people

are not aware of the pain and dark emotions that propel the addict into

taking narcotics to deal with the same.

I have also made clear how the society is also responsible, to a certain

extent, in aiding the problems of the addict by constant name shaming

and the propagation of guilt and shame. All this, for a disease that can

impact any one's life; a disease about which they don't have a choice.

On the other hand, it's not just the so called "grim and dark" issues that

have been covered within the ambit of the stoems. You shall find plenty

of stoems covering sexuality and intimacy with a tinge of humor and

sarcasm, the main context being how the physical part of the relation

acts as a critical foundation for a better, meaningful bond.

All through the stoems, I have been bold and emphatic in dealing with

various different genres which cannot be necessarily boxed into a one-

size-fits-all category. The tone is vigorous and undeniably insistent on

being real and honest so that we can become more open minded about

issues that need to be brought from the backburner into the limelight

simply because they are an essential component of life, without which

life would be empty and meaningless.

I expect people to be able to enjoy their real desires without being

subjected to ill will and demonization. I hope all readers can savor my

writing with a pinch of salt, and be able to express the same with a zeal

and enthusiasm that never fails to leave one surprised.

After all, being bold is being beautiful.
